“I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.”

He who loves not women, wine, and song Remains a fool his whole life long.

Lord Jesus, You are my righteousness, I am your sin. You took on you what was mine; yet set on me what was yours. You became what you were not, that I might become what I was not.

The Law is for the proud and the Gospel for the brokenhearted.

Pray, and let God worry.

If you see yourself as a “little sinner” you will inevitably see Jesus as a “little savior”.

I admit that I deserve death and hell, what of it? For I know One who suffered and made satisfaction on my behalf. His name is Jesus Christ, Son of God, and where He is there I shall be also!

All of a Christian’s life is one of repentance.

Prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance. It is laying hold of His willingness.

Music is a fair and glorious gift of God. I am strongly persuaded that after theology, there is no art which can be placed on the level with music.

There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.

A Christian is never in a state of completion but always in a process of becoming.

This grace of God is a very great, strong, mighty and active thing. It does not lie asleep in the soul. Grace hears, leads, drives, draws, changes, works all in man, and lets itself be distinctly felt and experienced. It is hidden, but its works are evident.

A happy fart never comes from a miserable ass.

The less I pray, the harder it gets; the more I pray, the better it goes.

He [Christ] died for me. He made His righteousness mine and made my sin His own; and if He made my sin His own, then I do not have it, and I am free.

The whole being of any Christian is faith and love. Faith brings the person to God, love brings the person to people.

Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.

Whatever you love more than God is your idol.

The only way to be really happy in such a world as this, is to be ever casting all our cares on God.

To live by grace means to acknowledge my whole life story, the light side and the dark. In admitting my shadow side I learn who I am and what God’s grace means.

I wonder maybe if our Lord does not suffer more from our indifference, than He did from the crucifixion.

To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.

We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next door neighbour.

It is God to whom and with whom we travel, and while He is the end of our journey, He is also at every stopping place.
